Yes, the procedure is very safe and does not require any sedation. The area is infused with lidocaine to block the nerve, so the procedure is painless. However, the area would be very tender for 48 hours. We will tape the area all up to help the thread to lift the tissue up. Clients remove tapes at home, there is not stitches or marks to worries about. The downtime is 48 hours and clients should expect some bruising

It’s important to understand exactly what your doctor’s quote includes. Does the number only include your surgeon’s fee? Or will it cover anesthesia, hospital fees, pre- or post-op appointments, and medications you’ll need throughout your recovery? If your doctor’s estimate doesn’t consider all those costs, be sure to factor them into your budget. Also be sure to ask how your surgeon handles revisions, in case you aren’t happy with your initial results.

Open rhinoplasty gives the surgeon greater access to the cartilage and bone of the nose but it will leave some scar tissue. By creating an incision across the columella (the area of cartilage between the two nostrils) the doctor can lift the skin off the tip of the nose and shape the cartilage very precisely. When healed, the incision leaves a very small, almost negligible scar on the underside of the nose.
we use the collagen-inducing fillers called Sculptra. The ploy lactic acid microsphere in the fillers induce the body to make its one collagen at a different area of injection such as face and neck. Lately, we start using this technique for adding volume to body areas such as buttocks. Using hyaluronic acid fillers is not an option here as it will cost a fortune before achieving satisfactory results.
Rhinoplasty is unique in that the final results of the surgery can take up to one full year to develop. Side effects such as swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes can hinder the appearance of the nose for the first two to three weeks. While more obvious changes may be visible in the first weeks following surgery, most individuals will need to be patient in regards to the final outcome. In the months following surgery the nose will begin to settle in to its final shape. Because the final results of rhinoplasty take a significant amount of time, doctors usually discourage patients from undergoing revision rhinoplasty until a full year has passed.

Doctors realize that most rhinoplasty patients are not eligible for insurance coverage. For this reason, many surgeons offer in-house financing options. With approved credit, patients may be eligible for low-interest or fixed-interest repayment plans. Additionally, many doctors offer significant discounts when patients pay for their procedures in full prior to treatment. Most cosmetic surgery practices accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.

“Most people price liposuction based on the number of areas being treated, and in general the per-area cost will come down with additional areas,” says Dr. Mathew A. Plant, a Toronto plastic surgeon, in a RealSelf Q&A. “Usually, the first area is more expensive because this price includes the costs of the operating room, equipment, and anesthetic. Once you’re into additional areas, those costs have mostly been covered, and you’re simply adding time, which allows a price drop.”
Cost is incredibly variable. It depends on the city and the provider. If you go to a plastic surgeon in New York City, it costs a lot more than seeing a non-plastic surgeon in a rural area. There are plenty of non-plastic surgeons offering discount liposuction. But, this can be somewhat risky due to their limited training backgrounds. And bad liposuction is very difficult to fix - I perform a lot of revision liposuction trying to fix poorly performed liposuction.There are many pros and cons to both a non-surgical nose job and a surgical rhinoplasty. Some of the advantages that people love about a non-surgical nose job (completed with dermal filler) is that it is fast and easy. In less than 15 minutes, a bump can be masked or a bridge created. Another great advantage is that if you were considering a rhinoplasty, but wanted to test the waters first, you can have a non-surgical nose job completed. *If you realize that the look is not for you, the dermal filler used on your nose is dissolvable and reversible.* Some of the disadvantages to this temporary nose job is that it will only last around 9 months depending on the type of injectable filler used, so you would have to return on a regular basis to maintain your results. Another disadvantage is that not everyone is a great candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty depending on what needs to be done to improve or correct your area of concern. A free consult in our office with help you determine if the non-surgical nose job is the appropriate choice for you.
Hospitals are the most expensive choice of facility. In Manhattan, fees can reach $6,000 and beyond for a single procedure. Though it is the most costly option, a hospital is also the best equipped to facilitate surgery involving a patient who is prone to excessive bleeding, or has other conditions that increase the risk of complications. You can expect your doctor to closely examine your medical history to determine if surgery in a hospital is necessary.
Your recovery will depend on the area or areas treated. Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but someone undergoing liposuction on the abdomen or thighs should plan to take 1 week off from work. Compression garments are worn in the first few days following the procedure, but many people choose to wear them for longer because they help with swelling and support. Limited activity is encouraged immediately to help in the healing process, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for 2 to 4 weeks. Bruising is usually gone within a week or 2, and swelling may take up to 6 months to resolve entirely.
It is almost impossible to provide an accurate estimate of liposuction price unless the surgeon has had the opportunity to examine the patient. One can expect to be given a range of liposuction prices or at least the smallest fee charged for a specific area. For example, if Dr. Jones always quotes an all-inclusive global price, then, for example, the receptionist should be able to state that “for abdominal liposuction, the minimal price is $4000 and may be as much as $8000 for a very large abdomen”.
“I generally recommend that my patients take between three and seven days off after liposuction, depending on how many areas were worked on and your pain tolerance,” Dr. Samuel Sohn, a Henderson, Nevada, plastic surgeon says in a liposuction recovery Q&A. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication, though you may find you only need an over-the-counter pain reliever.
For my patients, I also provide a post-operative packet. This includes arnica and other ointments, gauze and tape, an ice pack, and nasal decongestant spray. If your surgeon does not provide these items to you before or after your surgery, they are all helpful during the healing process. I encourage my patients to get anti-nausea medication for the first few days following surgery as well.
“Insurance will typically cover procedures to help improve nasal function (i.e. septoplasty, nasal valve repair, turbinate reduction),” says Dr. Sam Naficy, a Seattle facial plastic surgeon, in a RealSelf Q&A. “The extent of coverage varies based on the details of the insurance plan. Insurance will not cover procedures that improve the appearance of the nose but are not necessary to improve nasal function.”
